The golf elite are gearing up for an exciting event at Augusta.
Beginning Thursday, April 9, 88 of the best golfers from around the world will gather at the prestigious Augusta National Golf Club for the 90th Masters Tournament.
Among the notable names competing this year are 2025 champion Rory McIlroy, 2022 and 2024 champion Scotty Scheffler, last year’s winner Jon Rahm, along with Hideki Matsuyama and Dustin Johnson, past Masters champions.
International competitors such as Chris Gotterup (Scottish Open), Marco Penge (Spanish Open), Naoyuki Kataoka (Japan Open), Tom McKibbin (Hong Kong Open), and Casey Jarvis (South African Open) will also join the mix.
Additionally, Gary Wildwood, who recently won the Texas Children’s Houston Open and underwent brain surgery last year, is set to participate.
If you’re hoping to catch the action, there are still single-day and multi-day passes available. As of now, four-day passes for the tournament from April 9-12 can be found on StubHub starting around $20,532, including fees.
For Sunday, April 12, tickets start at about $11,268, according to Vivid Seats.
It’s pricey, sure, but it’s tough to quantify the incredible experience of attending the Masters in person. There’s really nothing quite like it.
Inside the venue, you can find pimento cheese and egg salad sandwiches for $1.50 or $3, while beer prices jump to around $6.
As NPR correspondent Steve Futterman mentioned, “These aren’t exactly gourmet sandwiches. They’re simple but solid. The low prices have been part of the Masters’ tradition since 1934, when affordability was key for the organizers. This year, some new items have come into play, but watch out—it’s not $1.50… they cost $3 now.”
